Regarding the allegation of staff accepting a child with obvious symptoms of illness. Based on interviews conducted on 7/19/ 2019 with director, staff and a review of facility files, LPAs are unable to determine if facility accepted a child who was injured. If a child is ill, Guardian is contacted for immediate pick-up.

Regarding the allegation of staff yelling in the presents of child. Based on interviews conducted director, and class observations of staff child interactions, LPAs cannot determine if staff was yelling in the presents of children.

Regarding the allegation of staff failing to follow doctors order.
